Equipped with 2 channels and 4 modes, the Blackstar HT Club
40 is the ideal gigging valve amp for club-sized venues. The 40-Watt
EL34-driven power amplifier has amazing punch and dynamics that will easily cut
through in a full-band situation. Switching to the ISF-equipped overdrive
channel accesses a further two modes classic crunch and super-saturated lead.
The Blackstar HT Club 40 is powered by two EL34 power tubes and two ECC83
preamp tubes. This is a certified refurbished product.
Unique Controls
The Clean and Overdrive Channels are foot-switchable. The Clean has Volume
and Tone controls with a voice switch for what the company describes as
boutique and modern voicings. The Overdrive has Gain and Volume controls, a
three-band EQ, an Infinite Shape Feature, and a voice switch that offers
classic (tight and crunchy) and fuller-body voicings. The amp's front control
panel is rounded out with Master Volume and (digital) Reverb controls.
Superior Performance
The single 12 Celestion speaker delivers the tone you're looking for. The
ISF control works in conjunction with the Bass, Middle, and Treble control. It
allows you to choose the exact tonal signature you prefer. Fully
counter-clockwise has a more American characteristic with a tight bottom end
and more aggressive middle, and fully clockwise has a British characteristic
which is more woody and less aggressive. The rear panel features a Speaker
Emulated Output, a Dark/Light control for the Reverb, and an effects loop.
